I WAS JUST THINKING OF PRAISING THAT BASTARD! WTF?!?!?!?!?!

Good I'd rather beat a Pittsburgh team at full strength then 1 with excuses why they were beat.If were going to come out of this decade long funk we need to beat the good teams and destroy the bad ones.

Exactly brother.....

Exactly brother.....

Why does it matter if they are full strength or no strength? Or any team.

Remember when Arizona won the division in 2008 and 2009? No one cared that the beat the 3-13 Rams twice. Or the 4-12 shitchickens. Or when those 2 teams were 1-15 and 5-11.

Colts and Broncos play teams that get laughed at twice a year. And the fuckin Patriots, get to play the Dolphins, Jets, and Bills twice a year, every year.

They get praised by the media, but when a team like the Rams beats the Steelers, it's because "oh they didn't have everybody." Bullshit, every win is meaningfull.

You can already year it in 49er land right now. "Oh they lost so many pieces on defense, of course they won't be at full strenght, it will take some time to get over it." Blah blah blah. If it were the Rams case, it would be "excuses, they are terrible!!"

 

[Ram65]

He has a mean stiff arm and is very shifty. Rams defense better bring their A game and stay in their gaps. At least it's a home game and one the Rams need to win with the tough early schedule. Bring him on! Go Rams!!!

Rams will see Steelers running back Le'Veon Bell in Week 3
By Nick Wagoner

http://espn.go.com/blog/st-louis-ra...e-steelers-running-back-leveon-bell-in-week-3

EARTH CITY, Mo. -- The St. Louis Rams got some bad news when it comes to a high-profile suspension on Tuesday. No, this has nothing to do with New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady or any of the Rams' own players.

After we examined how the Rams might miss Seattle safety Earl Thomas in Week 1 because of injury last week, the Rams found out that they will indeed have to face Pittsburgh Steelers running back Le'Veon Bell in Week 3.

The NFL announced Tuesday that Brady's four-game suspension for his role in "Deflategate" will be upheld in the story that is making most of the headlines. Quietly, the league also announced that Bell's suspension for violation of the league's substance abuse policy has been reduced from three games to two after a settlement between the league and the players association.

That's good news for the Patriots and San Francisco 49ers�--�Pittsburgh's first two opponents -- but not so much for the Rams. The Steelers come to St. Louis for a Week 3 tilt at the Edward Jones Dome on Sept. 27.

Given the Rams' early-season struggles stopping the run in recent years, Bell figures to be quite a challenge. His 1,361 rushing yards were second in the NFL in 2014 as he averaged 4.7 yards per carry.

Because to get a true "read" on your team, you need to know if they can beat a team, that is totally whole and at "full strength"...Beating the Patriots, without Brady, is not a true representation of a teams talent, or actual ability...It is a falsehood...and will likely show itself when you meet a truly prepared opponent....Sorta like AZ last year...they won a bunch of games without their #1 QB, only to arrive in the playoffs and look comical on the offensive side of the ball. Beating the Steelers, without Bell, would be the same IMO.

The Rams have i.e. Peyton Manning and Co. We know what they can do.

I just think it's a huge double standard when teams like the Rams have their wins being glossed over b/c the *other* team had other issues, while said other teams get the luxury of playing of poorly managed teams or those with vast injuries, those Ws are somehow more meaningful.

 

[Big Game]

Shouldn't the title read;

"Looks like Le'Veon Bell will be dealing with the Rams D now"

Exactly its a home game for us bring it on!!! :double::wabbit::shooting::lifting::fighting::cheers:

Agreed...If the Rams are what a lot of people think they are now, then they have to beat good teams with their best players...

The one game Adrian Peterson played in was against us. We need better luck.

@RamzFanz Get your ass in gear with the Fantasy football brah! I'm beating your ass this year in the championship! lol

I know...we need to get going. Time to get the commissioners together!

Avengers unite!

Also, Bell is not Adrian Peterson. I would be more worried about Antonio Brown.
